From Heritage To High-Tech: CM Yogi Pushes For Development Of Mathura And Kanpur As Model Cities
Report: Elders, youth share loneliness fear
BENGALURU: Studies show that loneliness is no longer limited to the elderly, but that youngsters also feel isolated and lack empathy from others. According to a report by HelpAge India released ahead of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15, both generations, youth and elders, share the common fear of loneliness in old age. The report stated that 69% of youth fear loneliness, while 88% expect to live with their families as they grow old.

UP BJPs wait for a new state chief continues
LUCKNOW: Even after five months past the partys expected timeline, the wait for the new president of the Uttar Pradesh unit of the ruling BJP continues. The delay is a hot topic in the political corridors of the state. Experts feel that the BJP is taking time to pick a leader who can lead the party not only through the upcoming panchayat elections but also the significant 2027 battle. A section of leaders believes that the state will get a new chief only after the election of a new national BJP president. The term of the current UP BJP chief, Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, a Jat leader from western UP ended in January 2023, concurrent with BJP national president JP Naddas term. Chaudhary was appointed UP BJP chief on August 29, 2022. At the time, he was the Panchayati Raj Minister in Yogi Adityanaths cabinet. The appointment was seen as an attempt to reach out to the influential Jat community, which had spearheaded the year-long farmers protest ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. While CM Yogi Adityanath hails from eastern UP, the party then sought regional balance by appointing Chaudhary. Incidentally, since Naddas term has been extended, Chaudharys term has also been extended. Notably, organisational elections at the lower levels have been completed in the state. On March 16, new district presidents were appointed in 70 of the 98 districts as per the partys configuration. Since then, however, no step has been taken to elect a new state chief. Although deliberations on appointing a new UP BJP chief began in January, and National General Secretary BL Santosh had said a new state president would be announced by January 15, party workers had expected a final decision by thenor at least by January 30. Five months have passed, yet theres still no development or indication from the party regarding the impending election. In the absence of concrete steps, speculation abounds over probable names for the post. OBC leaders like Jal Shakti Minister Swatantra Dev Singh, Animal Husbandry Minister Dharampal Singh, Rajya Sabha member Baburam Nishad, and MLC Ashok Kataria are in the race. From the Scheduled Castes category, former minister Ram Shankar Katheria and MLC Vidyasagar Sonkar are being discussed. A few Brahmin community names, former Basti MP Harish Dwivedi, Rajya Sabha member Dr. Dinesh Sharma, MLA Srikant Sharma, and Higher Education Minister Yogendra Upadhyay are also prominent in discussions. Political experts note that the BJP, known for its strategic planning, faces the crucial challenge of the upcoming panchayat elections. The appointment of the state president will be made with that in mind. The party is busy understanding the mathematics of the panchayat polls, says Prof. A.K. Mishra, a prominent political scientist. Party insiders say the delay in announcing a new state chief is also hindering changes in the regional presidencies, four out of the six regions (Awadh, Kashi, Braj, West Gorakhpur, and Kanpur). Complaints against one or two regional presidents have surfaced. These leaders are uncertain about their political futures and are conducting party programs and campaigns half-heartedly. Their entire focus is on either becoming regional president again or finding a spot in the new state team, says a senior BJP leader. Moreover, regional presidents have not been allowed to form their own teams, having to work with 2021s team. Insiders say central leadership received complaints about irregularities in forming regional and district teams, leading to an unofficial ban on announcing executive committees. At the same time, the state presidents of BJPs Mahila Morcha, Yuva Morcha, OBC Morcha, Kisan Morcha, SC Morcha, ST Morcha, and Minority Morcha have been working for about four years, no changes were made during Chaudharys tenure. Once a new BJP state president is appointed, the state presidents of all morchas will also be replaced.
Air India crash in Ahmedabad could be the worst involving a single aircraft in India
The crash of Air India Flight 171 in Ahmedabad on Thursday could be the worst ever accident involving a single aircraft in India. There were 242 people on board the flight, while more casualties are likely on the ground as the plane crashed into a hostel for medical students. The only plane accident in India with more casualties was the mid-air collision of two aircraft over Charkhi Dadri in Haryana, around 100 km from Delhi, in 1996 in which 349 people died. That crash involved the collision of a Saudia flight from Delhi to Dhahran in Saudi Arabia and a Kazakhstan Airlines flight from Chimkent in Kazakhstan to Delhi.

All 213 people on board that flight, which was headed to Dubai, died. The aircraft was a Boeing-747 named Emperor Ashoka. The worst ever crash involving an Air India plane was in 1985 when a flight from Canada to India was blown up over the Atlantic Ocean after a bomb was planted on board by Khalistani terrorists. All 329 people on board were killed. Here is a timeline of the major air accidents in India since 1990: August 7, 2020 Air India Express Flight IX-1344 Kozhikode In Keralas biggest plane accident, an Air India Express aircraft carrying 190 people on board, including crew, from Dubai to Calicut airport skidded off the table-top runway while landing in bad weather, fell 35 feet onto a road below and split into two. Operating under the Vande Bharat Mission to repatriate Indians stranded abroad due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Boeing 737-800 aircraft was flying from Dubai to Kozhikode (Calicut).

Way back in 1975, after completing my degree in Kolkata, I wanted to become the first chess grandmaster of India. At that time, India No. 2 Nasir Ali was in Kanpur. He asked me to be with him. So I went there. At that time, there were no grandmasters. Only Manuel Aaron was there. One morning in Kanpur, I went for my run. Two or three miscreants were trying to steal from a lady doctor. I helped her. After one week, a chauffeur-driven car came to my house. Doctor amma is calling you. I was told that I had helped her at this place. So I went there. Swami Rama was sitting there. I didnt know him then. All I knew was that a saintly person was sitting, he had a captivating face. Then she introduced me to him. He spoke to me in Hindi and asked me if I would like to learn yoga and meditation. I was not interested. I dont need it, right? I am a chess player. I have to spend about 8 to 10 hours on a chessboard. Then I have to do some work also at the office for my bread. He said, no, it will be very good for you. Actually, they were looking for somebody who knew English and could translate his teachings for the six foreigners who were already there. Somehow I agreed to it. So for six months, I was directly with Swami Rama. He taught me pranayama, yoga and all that. But at that time, I did not know the importance of Swami Rama. He was just a yoga guru. Then when I came for summer holidays to my house in Kolkata, I went to the National Library. I went to the Telugu section with one of my cousins. She was looking at the books. Swami Ramas book was also there, Living with the Himalayan Masters. I said he is my guru. She laughed and said, What nonsense are you talking? Do you know who he is? She thought I was bluffing. Then I read the book. I came to know the significance of Swami Rama. I met him again two or three times for one or two days. He was an entirely different personality, we meet such people only when we are destined to. There was a magnetic attraction. Since then, from 1975 till 2025, I havent gone to a doctor. Doctors have come to me. Thats the secret of meditation and yoga. But that meditation was different. At that time, I learned Hatha Yoga and Pranayama. It gives you speed, stamina and strength. Our Indian Vedic system, thats the basic wisdom. They know what life is, how to lead life. What is the purpose of human life? Im a minister. Im a doctor. These are all cock and bull stories. The primary goal of a human birth is Moksha Sadhana. It is not just earning money, fame. Anybody can do it. Dharma, Artha, Kama, even animals are also doing all these. So whats the difference between an animal and a human? Only humans can go to the higher levels of consciousness due to their prefrontal cortex. Many are conducting experiments, particularly in the West, on breathing. There are several books, YouTube channels. There are so many practices. Many people do follow them after watching them on YouTube. What is your view on that? As long as it does good, anything can be accepted. It may not be right for each and everybody. As long as it works for you, it is good for you. The same thing applies to our social customs. One country will have something which may be taboo elsewhere. In yoga and meditation, you are conserving energy. You are not consuming it. The first difference between an exercise and an asana is still and busy. In one, energy is conserved. In the other, it is consumed. Say you play football or cricket, you can do it for certain hours. After that, you get tired. But meditation, you can do it for 24 hours. How do you stop thoughts? Its like a train of thoughts. They keep coming. As you said, there are many types of meditation. Some people focus on the breath. Some people just focus on the body. What is meditation? Generally, there are three varieties of meditation. One is mantra meditation. If you take one mantra, speak it loudly at a particular frequency, you develop one-pointed concentration. If the body is not still, the mind can never be still. Thats why for any meditation, you have to sit comfortably without movements. In Padmasana, you can sit for hours at a stretch. In another type of meditation, they concentrate on something else, say inhalation and exhalation. The third one is transcendental meditation. You transcend the thought process. In meditation, we are closing all these senses. Once you have closed them, what happens? The mind, the nervous system, its got a peculiarity. It goes on finding happiness. Everybody does something because hes happy doing that. The mind has got the innate quality of finding what is happiness. You need a guide or a guru for this? You need a guru for that. We put you on the rails. But once you start going inwards, you are yourself becoming a guru. The gurus will come on their own. Of late, a small percentage of people have become health conscious. They are slowly turning towards yoga and meditation. Instead of spending lakhs of rupees in hospitals. We are advertising yoga. But are they really doing yoga or aerobics? They think yoga means asanas, that if someone knows the difficult asanas, they are a very good yogi. No, it is not that. I dont think we even require that in this generation. You have to use your limbs. How many steps are you walking every day? Most people are not moving around enough. Calf muscles are called the second heart. And if the calf muscles are not strong, it can increase the risk of heart problems. You have to walk at least 10,000 steps per day. How many people are doing 10,000 in a month? How often do we use vehicles or the lift? I always advise everybody, please run. All your problems go away. But they will run away. So now what we require is not yoga asanas. But meditation is required. Because most of the time you are dumping something unnecessary inside. So we require peace and calmness. What do you suggest one should do at work? Suppose your office is only 23 kilometres away, please do not use a vehicle. Come on foot, use your legs. As simple as that. Age starts from the legs. Someone who has to work eight hours a day and has to take care of the family, say he is practising meditation daily without the help of a guru. How to check his progress, if he is going in the right path or not? Such a persons attitude will be different. They will be cool and calm. Even if you abuse them, they wont bother. The way they react, their way of talking to you, the humility, acceptance and large-heartedness.

BHOPAL: A 14-year-old tribal girl who was kidnapped by a 22-year-old man from western Madhya Pradeshs Jhabua district was rescued from a village 900 km away in Uttar Pradeshs Kanpur Dehat district following a 16-hour police operation. Two years back, 20-year-old Govind Naik, who hails from Auraiya district of central UP, came to Ranapur town of western MPs Jhabua district, along with a group of street-side garment sellers and started living and trading there. He slowly developed a friendship with a 12-year-old tribal girl who lived in the same locality, where Govind lived on rent. Over a period of two years, the bond between Govind and the tribal girl deepened and finally he took her away on May 31. By the time, the girls family realized that it was Govind who had taken her away, the duo had already reached Indore (150 km from Jhabua) and boarded a bus to Gwalior. The matter was reported by the girls family to the Jhabua district police in the afternoon, after which two teams were formed and the hunt for the kidnapped girl started at around 4 pm and a case of kidnapping registered at Ranapur police station. We formed two police teams and started probing the matter. Knowing well that we would question his key contacts, Govind kept on telling them over phone that he was bound for Gujarat, despite being actually on the way to his home state UP. He kept telling his contacts that he was moving from Dahod to Godhra in Gujarat. Using sophisticated scientific investigation tools, the police tracked his live location in MPs Guna district, which confirmed that he was headed to UP, a senior Jhabua district police officer told TNIE on Saturday. Both teams of the Jhabua police left to nab Govind and rescue the girl at 4 pm, but they were almost six-and-a-half hours behind him. After alighting from the bus, Govind took the girl in another hired vehicle to adjoining UP, but instead of going to his home district, he went to Kanpur Dehat district, in the same central UP region, where his sister lives. While the hunt for the kidnapped girl went on, unmindful that his location was being continuously updated by the Jhabua district police to their two teams, Govind continued to tell his contacts about travelling further into Gujarat for some important work. He ultimately reached his sisters village in Kanpur Dehat on May 31 and stayed there that night. With his location getting stabilized at one point, the Jhabua police from MP contacted their counterparts in central UPs Kanpur Dehat who rescued the girl from the kidnappers sisters village. Govind, however, managed to escape, but was nabbed a few hours later from a neighbouring village, ultimately ending a successful police operation which started at 4 pm on May 31 and ended at around 8 am on June 1. The accused kept on telling his contacts that he was headed to Gujarat, just to hoodwink us, but the police turned much smarter and using the latest scientific and digital technology, kept on tracking his movement. It was subsequently with the help of UP police that the kidnapped girl was successfully rescued and the kidnapper too tracked and arrested, Madhya Pradeshs Jhabua district police superintendent Padam Vilochan Shukla said. The rescued girl was subsequently brought back safely to her home in Ranapur (Jhabua) and reunited with her family. The arrested kidnapper is being questioned by police to ascertain whether he has a criminal past or is linked to any organized gang. The cops are also probing the possibility of him being part of a girl trafficking racket.

UP government plans mini-forests to mitigate heat wave impact in major cities
LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government is planning separate budget allocations to develop mini-forests in urban areas, aiming to boost green cover and combat the rising urban heat island effect in major cities. The urban heat island effect is a phenomenon where higher temperature is experienced in urban areas as compared to rural surroundings. As part of Upvan Scheme, 17 municipal corporations across the state have been given a free hand to infuse up to Rs 3 crore to develop green zones over an area of 2,000 sq mt under their jurisdiction. State Finance Department has created a corpus of Rs 70 crore to dole out funds to urban local bodies for the fiscal year 2025-26. As per the official sources, the amount allocated to civic bodies would be utilised to address the severe heat wave-like conditions in urban areas during the extreme summers. According to the principal secretary, urban development, Amrit Abhijat, the need to mitigate the risk in densely populated areas had become essential. He lays stress on urban planning in a manner so as to create additional green space and cooling strategies to promote sustainable development in cities. In its research report presented to the state government in July, 2024, the Uttar Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) urged the authorities to curate preventive measures to bring down the impact of heat-related incidents within the urban part of the state after carrying out district-wise analysis. Stating that the rapid urban growth in cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, and Prayagraj had given rise to urban heat islands, the study emphasised the need to prioritise green spaces, sustainable infrastructure, and climate-smart urban planning. A dense urban forest planting methodology, introducing Miyawaki forests, could be the first step for the key civic bodies to lower surface temperatures. Officials said that the studies conducted by independent research scholars and educational institutes over cities in the state were going to be analysed, and the help of experts would be taken to conduct GIS (geographical information system) based studies and collate remotely sensed thermal data to zero in on locations which require intervention.

Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel seeks answers from govt on Pahalgam, Operation Sindoor 'ceasefire'
JABALPUR: Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel has said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should explain why there was no security for tourists in Pahalgam, where terrorists attacked them on April 22, and did the government agree to a ceasefire with Pakistan under pressure from the United States. Following the horrific Pahalgam attack which claimed 26 lives, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 , striking at terror infrastructure in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and Pakistan. The neighbouring country retaliated with drones and missiles but failed to cause harm. The two nations announced cessation of hostilities on May 10. Speaking at the opposition Congress' 'Jai Hind' rally here on Saturday, former Chhattisgarh chief minister Baghel accused the BJP of politicising Operation Sindoor and asserted the country's armed forces do not belong to any party. The Congress' event coincided with the PM's mega women empowerment event in Bhopal, 300 km from here. Tell people why there was no security arrangement in Pahalgam. Where are those four terrorists? Was the ceasefire done under pressure from the US and who took the decision on the ceasefire, officers or the government? Baghel said addressing the gathering. The Congress leader's comments came in the backdrop of US President Donald Trump repeatedly asserting that he got India and Pakistan to end hostilities triggered by Operation Sindoor. India has stuck to its stand that the US had no role to play. During a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur on Friday, PM Modi said Pakistan egged for a ceasefire during Operation Sindoor. The Congress is holding 'Jai Hind Sabhas' across the country to salute the armed forces, while the ruling BJP has been carrying out 'Tiranga Yatras' to celebrate the success of Operation Sindoor. BJP is politicising Operation Sindoor. Bharatiya Janata Party activists will distribute vermilion, Baghel alleged, adding that a woman applies sindoor for her husband's well-being and it is her husband who applies sindoor to her forehead. Notably, the BJP has denied that it was planning to distribute sindoor. Our armed forces belong to the whole country and its people, and not just to any political party or government. We all are extremely proud of the bravery and valour of our Army, Baghel said, asserting that doubts are being raised about the BJP government's decisions and policies. He also lauded former PM Indira Gandhi for emphatically defeating Pakistan in the 1971 war, which led to the creation of Bangladesh. 'When will PM break his silence?' Congress on Trump's truce claims The former Chhattisgarh CM said Modi should apologise for objectionable comments made by Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah and state deputy chief minister Jagdish Devda following Operation Sindoor. The PM must set an example by ensuring they are sacked from the MP government, Baghel said. Shah made an objectionable remark about army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi during his speech at a public function at Mhow near Indore on May 12. An FIR has been registered in the matter and both the Supreme Court and MP High Court have severely admonished Shah. On May 16, Devda claimed armed forces and soldiers of the country were atmastak (bowing down with their heads at the feet) in front of PM Modi for giving a befitting reply to terrorists and Pakistan. Baghel also sought to point out similarities between the Pahalgam terror attack and the infamous May 2013 Jhiram valley attack in Chhattisgarh in which Naxalites killed 27 persons, including some prominent Congress leaders. I remember May 25, 2013. Naxalites attacked Congress leaders, killing former Union minister Vidya Charan Shukla among others after asking their names, he said. In Pahalgam, terrorists asked victims their religion. Another common thing in both incidents was there was no security at the respective spots, he added. What is the relation between the two incidents? How they happened calls for pondering, Baghel said. Speaking at the rally, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh said those who played no role in India's freedom struggle and remained slaves of the British are today claiming that armed forces are bowing at the feet of PM Modi.

Operation Sindoor not over yet: PM Modi outlines Indias bold anti-terror strategy
KANPUR: Sending a powerful message on Indias anti-terror strategy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the country would respond decisively to every act of terrorism, regardless of where the threat originates from, as Operation Sindoor was still ongoing. The Prime Minister was addressing a public rally in Kanpur after inaugurating and laying the foundation for 15 development projects related to power, transport, Jal Shakti and other sectors, worth Rs 47,700 crore, during his two-hour visit. He asserted that India would no longer be bullied by nuclear threats from its neighbours, and outlined three principles guiding the countrys counter-terrorism approach: 1. India will give a befitting reply to every terrorist attack, with the timing, method, and conditions determined solely by the armed forces. 2. India would no longer be intimidated by nuclear threats, nor make decisions based on such intimidation. 3. India would treat the masterminds of terror and the governments that support them with equal resolve. PM Modi said his Kanpur visit was originally scheduled for April 24 but was cancelled due to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. He warned that Pakistans tactics would no longer succeed, declaring, If I say it in Kanpuriya style, the enemy will be decimated wherever he is. Delivering a strong message on national security, the Prime Minister stated, India has made its position clear, every terrorist attack will be avenged. Our armed forces will decide the timing and method of the response, he asserted. Rejecting the threat of nuclear retaliation as a deterrent, Modi said, Todays India does not fear the atomic bomb, nor will it base its decisions on such threats. He added that India would no longer accept the excuse of state and non-state actors behind terrorism and that the masterminds and the regimes supporting them would be treated alike. Referring to Indias strong military response through Operation Sindoor, the Prime Minister said the entire world had witnessed the anger of the countrys daughters and sisters through the operation. Our forces entered deep into Pakistan and destroyed terrorist hideouts. The Indian Armys valour forced the Pakistani military to come on its knees and plead for a ceasefire. He added that Operation Sindoor had not ended, it had only paused. Earlier in the day, PM Modi had an emotional interaction with the bereaved family of Shubham Dwivedi at the Kanpur airport. He met Shubhams widow Aishanya, mother Seema, and father Sanjay Dwivedi. Focusing on the importance of self-reliance in the defence sector, Modi said that Indias weapons and missiles had caused devastation in the enemy country. He emphasised that achieving self-reliance was crucial not only for the economy but also for national pride. He recalled that India once heavily depended on other countries for its military needs. That is why we launched the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, to free the country from this dependence, he said. The Prime Minister credited Indias growing defence capabilities to the resolve of a self-reliant nation, which played a key role in the success of recent military operations. He claimed that Uttar Pradesh was playing a vital role in making the country self-reliant in the defence sector. The PM highlighted that the UP Defence Corridor was attracting major investment, Kanpurs ordnance factories had been given commercial status, Amethis Korba ordnance factory was manufacturing AK-203 rifles, and BrahMos missiles, used effectively during Operation Sindoor, were set to be manufactured in Lucknow. UP is going to be the front runner in defence export in the days to come, said the PM. In a veiled attack on previous governments, he said they had ignored the states industrial needs. The family-driven governments never thought of giving priority to industrial development and pushed the state out of the race of developing states, he said. Highlighting Uttar Pradeshs transformation into a logistics and industrial hub, Modi said, The state already has an international airport, and with this years budget, weve launched Mission Manufacturing to further boost local business and industry. He also spoke about reforms to the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector, saying it had earlier been misrepresented in ways that discouraged entrepreneurs. We have changed that perception and expanded support through this budget. In the last 10 years, weve taken several major decisions to empower small businesses, he said. Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath welcomed the Prime Minister, extending the gratitude of the state. The way Indias new defence system has given a befitting reply to the enemy is commendable, he said. He called it the outcome of the strategic efforts initiated by the Prime Minister over the past decade. We are proud of your (PM Modis) leadership which has strengthened the nations defence and global standing, Adityanath added.

About Operation Sindoor in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, Modi said India destroyed terrorist hideouts deep inside Pakistan, and the world saw the anger of our daughters and sisters in the form of Operation Sindoor. Operation Sindoor is not over yet. It showed the world power of indigenous weapons and Make in India. We destroyed terrorist hideouts in Pakistan by going hundreds of miles inside. Indian weapons, Brahmos missile entered enemy territory and wreaked havoc, the prime minister told the rally. The heroics of the Indian armed forces forced the Pakistani Army to plead to stop the war, he said and asserted that India would no longer be intimidated by the threat of the nuclear bomb nor would it make a decision on that basis. Moreover, Pakistan's ploy of state and non-state actors not going to work anymore, Modi told the rally. India's principle in the fight against terror is to give a befitting reply to every terror attack. Its time, method and conditions will be decided by our forces themselves, he added.

NEW DELHI: In a dynamic display of leadership and strategic outreach, Prime Minister Narendra Modi undertook extensive visits to several Indian states throughout May this year, inaugurating and laying foundation stones for infrastructure and development projects worth a staggering Rs 2.8 lakh crore. His visits, particularly to states such as Bihar, skilfully blended governance with political messaging in the lead-up to the scheduled elections this year, underlining his governments commitment to inclusive development and its firm stance against terrorism. The Prime Minister spent two days each in Gujarat and poll-bound Bihar, while making day-long visits to Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Sikkim, Madhya Pradesh, and West Bengal. In each of these states, he addressed large public gatherings and delivered powerful speeches, consistently referencing the recently concluded Operation Sindoor , Indias retaliatory military operation following the Pahalgam terror attack in April that claimed 26 civilian lives. A recurring and dominant theme during these visits was his repeated emphasis on the success of Operation Sindoor, which he hailed as emblematic of Indias new doctrine on terrorism. Calling the strikes on terror camps across the border a perfect operation, the Prime Minister asserted that it demonstrated Indias unwavering commitment to protecting its citizens. 'Came back to Bihar only after keeping my promise of teaching terrorists a lesson': PM Modi Operation Sindoor is not just a reply to one attack, it is a message to every enemy of India. We will hit back with full force wherever threats emerge, he declared at multiple rallies, including those in Sasaram, Bihar, and Alipurduar, West Bengal. Alongside the robust national security narrative, the Prime Minister also unveiled or laid the foundation for numerous development projects worth Rs 2.8 lakh crore, including initiatives worth Rs 48,000 crore in Bihar alone on 30 May. In Gujarat, he announced new ports, energy infrastructure, and urban development schemes. In Madhya Pradesh, he is scheduled to participate in the Lokmata Ahilyabai Mahila Sashaktikaran Maha Sammelan on 31 May, which is anticipated to be attended by a massive gathering of over two lakh women, most of whom will be dressed in sindoor-red saris, symbolising both womens empowerment and support for Operation Sindoor. Significantly, in West Bengal, ruled by the Trinamool Congress (TMC), the Prime Minister launched a sharp critique of the state government, accusing it of corruption and of harbouring anti-national elements, branding the TMC regime as a Nirmam Sarkar. In Punjabs Adampur, he met with and addressed soldiers, while in Uttar Pradeshs Kanpur, the PM touched on a variety of issues and levelled attacks against the Opposition, similar to his remarks in Bihar. Bihar man arrested for threatening to kill PM Modi during his state visit An official observed that the Prime Ministers visits in May were distinctly characterised by a strategic fusion of development pledges and strong national security messaging. By linking local infrastructure improvements with national defence initiatives such as Operation Sindoor, PM Modi aimed to strike a chord with both urban and rural voters ahead of upcoming elections, particularly in two states, West Bengal and Bihar, the official remarked. He also noted that the Prime Minister is likely to shift focus towards southern states like Tamil Nadu in the coming days. According to some political analysts, the Prime Ministers May visits not only reinforced the BJPs electoral narrative, showcasing a government that builds, defends, and projects strength in equal measure, but also highlighted PM Modis commitment to active governance. He has already proved himself not an armchair-stacked PM but a PM who visits, who visualises and who meets the people as Pradhan-sevak, quipped a senior official, adding that these state visits also helped the Prime Minister to gather feedback and gauge public sentiment regarding his governments performance.
